This would not be my advice. For two reasons:
1) If the underlying problem isn't fixed, there is no reason to expect
that "dpkg -C" is going to fix things. It should just run the same
post-inst scripts again, and produce the same errors again.
2) With systemd in a possibly messed-up state, rebooting is risky.
I would focus on fixing the underlying issue, starting with looking at
the things that it complained about.
ls -ld / /var /var/log /var/log/journal
